Hey there! :)

Answer:

4 /11.

Explanation:

Given:

4 $1 bills

5 $10 bills

2 $5 bills

Add up the number of bills to find the total:

4 + 5 + 2 = 11 total bills.

The probability of pulling a 1 dollar bill would be expressed as:

# of $1 bills / total

Therefore:

4 / 11 would represent this situation.
